BLUE FLINT CORN

BLUE FLINT CORN

Our Blue Corn has been carefully processed from select food-grade flint corn.
Blue corn is simply a variety of flint corn with a dark bluish to red color that, when ground, produces a blue color flour. Blue corn has a coarser texture with a nuttier and sweeter flavor than other varieties of corn used for flour. The primary use for blue corn is to produce masa for blue corn tortillas and for blue corn chips. Tortillas made from blue corn are usually denser than white corn tortillas.

Blue Corn is an ideal product for long term food storage and emergency preparedness.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF BLUE CORN
Studies have shown that blue corn is higher in the amino acid lysine, the antioxidant anthocyanin, zinc and iron than most yellow or white corn. Blue corn also contains Vitamins A and Thiamine, B2, and niacin. Research has found that blue corn tortillas contain more protein than their yellow or white corn counterparts, as well as lower starch content and lower glycemic index (GI). Food with a lower starch and lower GI breaks down more slowly into sugars absorbed by the blood stream and can help people avoid spikes in blood sugar levels, which can be helpful for people on low GI diets, such as diabetics.

The health benefits of blue corn tortillas have been featured in many publications, including well-known publications such as Bicycling, Reuters Health, and WebMD.
